“Aleisa did a great job with our 2 cats and house sitting at our home. They were happy and healthy when we got home and everything was nice and tidy in our house. Thank you Aleisa. See you again.”


“Relocating from Los Angeles to Tyler for my residency at UT Tyler was stressful, and I was especially worried about leaving my fur babies, Luna P and Washington, with a sitter during the holidays for a whole week. I feel incredibly fortunate to have found Raul. He kept me updated throughout the week with pictures and thoughtful texts, even asking for specific details to ensure he was meeting my pets' needs. Raul was on top of everything, and it was clear he truly cared about my bbs. Washington, who is very shy and nervous around strangers, warmed up to Raul by day three and was even playing with him! Knowing my pets were in such good hands allowed me to fully enjoy my time with family, without any worries. I highly recommend Raul. He is trustworthy, responsible, and reliable—qualities I truly appreciated during such a busy and stressful time.”


“Suzanne was great! She worked with me for just the right schedule of stop-in visits and overnights to take care of my anxious cat. Watered plants and generally looked after everything. Made the trip better knowing she was here.”

About: I have everything you could ever want your pet to have! I am reliable and have many years of personal pet training and care. I understand the dedication and commitment required to look after your gorgeous pets. Each pet has their own personality and style and I adapt to exactly what your pet needs. If they want cuddles, they will get cuddles. If they want space, they will get space. If they want to play, they will get to play. It’s all about the pets needs from me. I take great pride in walking, feeding, and providing endless affection to your gorgeous little creature.

“Jonathan did a great job with my two dogs. He sent lots of pics everyday that he was there. He also made sure to give them extra love and to play with them. I would definitely recommend him to anyone looking for a dog sitter.”


About: I have owned animals all my life, and I have worked on farms taking care of many different types of animals. I also worked as a kennel worker. I take care of my personal animals everyday. I also often take care of other peoples animals by going to their house to feed and hang out with. Not only do i provide for their basic needs but I also enjoy spending time with the individual animal. For example taking your dog on long walks or getting toys out for your cats.

About: For as long as I can remember we always had dogs and cats apart of our home. I know life is very unpredictable and trying to find care for your loved fur babies is difficult as well. I have a Golden Retriever named Milo and a black one eyed cat named Pearl who I consider family. Let me provide your fur babies the love and care they deserve. I’m currently looking to do this full time however, I do have a toddler at home that needs me after 5:30 PM on the weekdays. He is home on the weekends but I will work around my schedule as needed to provide the care your animals deserve. I have a Golden Retriever and a black cat at home that are well taken care of. Since I have to be available for my son outside of daycare there will be nights I can not stay at your home but can most definitely stop by for a little to let them outside, feed them and provide love. My cat has medications and vitamins she takes regularly due to her previous medical history so I am very familiar with our animals needing some extra care and attention.

Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine—it’s not just a job, it’s a lifestyle. As a retired Coast Guard veteran, I thrive on structure, reliability, and purpose, and caring for animals gives me all of that and more. Whether it’s morning walks, afternoon check-ins, or overnight boarding, I plan my days around the needs of the pets in my care. I’ve been around animals for over 30 years, so feeding, walking, playtime, and even administering medications are second nature. Every day is a mission to keep tails wagging and whiskers twitching, and I wouldn’t have it any other way. In My Home: Your pet’s safety and comfort come first. I have a secure, fully fenced yard perfect for supervised play and exercise, as well as clean, comfortable kennels for pets who need their own space to relax.

About: I've taken care of animals since I was very young. Ive always loved to be around them, care for them, and of course PLAY with them. I can do your basic training with most younger dogs in which include sit, stay, lay down, shake, high five, heel, and also potty training.

I have days that I can often sneak away if I do have work and help care for your baby/babies. I love all animals, no matter how big or small, and even the most shy ones typically love me. I am patient and will let them get to know me so we can have the best time together!

About: I love dogs and kittens equally, without comparing them and acknowledging their differences. I have had pets for as long as I can remember and they have always been an essential part of my life. For 34 years in my house there was always one to three pets and my love for them was so well known that my friends and family began to leave their furry babies in my care when they went on trips or vacations. I think this job is a great opportunity to do something I love, lovingly caring for animals that mean so much to their owners. I have time available usually after 4:00 pm and some weekends. Let me help you by giving your fur baby the love and care that he or she deserves. I am honest, assertive and patient. I believe that there is not a single way to care for an animal, each pet and owner have specific needs that must be considered

About: I've always had pets growing up! I've been apart of PatriotPaws for 3yrs. now training service dogs and have watched family and friends pets whenever needed as well! I have bottle fed, trained, and raised my dog Maggie! I am also pursuing a career in veterinary medicine and hope to get accepted into veterinary school soon! I am currently looking for a job at a vet clinic so my hours may vary! I treat all animals as equals so I can ensure you that your fur baby will be treated the same! I am always overly cautious when it comes to caring for pets so I will always ask questions before assuming!
